Experiences we don’t understand

More people than ever are having spiritual awakenings, and even though these awakening experiences can be sudden and seemingly out of the blue, they offer us a taste of a euphoric reality that can be hard to come back down from.

Essentially the process of spiritual awakening starts with the simple recognition that there is more going on in our reality than what we can see or experience physically. It’s the acceptance that there are things going on which we cannot see and can easily miss unless we tune into our more subtle tendencies.

The more often you can acknowledge that there’s more to life than meets the eye, the higher the chance you’ll begin to notice the unseen forces at play.

While holding a sense of awareness about what is going on in the unseen reality helps you live in a more awakened state, the spiritual awakening experiences that many people are experiencing usually come on a lot more suddenly and (seemingly) out of no-where.

What’s a Spiritual Awakening Like?

While the experience can be different for many people there are often commonalities, such as experiencing an overwhelming feeling of love, unity and understanding of people and reality.

Often the loss of feeling bound within the confines of your physical body. People can experience feeling limbless or no longer wholly physical, like experiencing yourself or the objects around you as the millions of particles which are actually moving and vibrating extremely closely to each other as opposed to thinking and seeing everything as solid.

The feeling of love is often overwhelming. You may cry or laugh, you may barely be able to move while the experience is taking shape. It may only last a minute or so yet feel like a life-time as your sense of time becomes warped, as if you lose time or time no longer exists while the awakening is taking place.

Oneness. Often in spiritual awakening experiences you understand oneness. And not only as a concept, but as a reality – understanding this is actually our reality even though previously we’ve thought of ourselves as separate and at times, alone.

More about spiritual awakenings:

Often awakenings are experienced as short but incredibly intense experiences which open up our eyes to the unseen reality. We can experience a sudden awareness of ourselves as a Soul as opposed to a diminishing physical body, and the experience may force us to doubt our views of the way we believed the world worked on a fundamental level.

These experiences are important because, even though the intensity often dissipates not long afterward, we are left with a fundamental shift in our perception of the world. One from which it’s hard to come back from or deny to the occurrence of.

With more of us experiencing awakenings I feel it’s important to talk about them – so we can realise that we’re not alone – and that we’re not going crazy!

I’ve had many awakening experiences over more recent years, and I’m becoming more able to live in a more awakened state – which for me, is the goal. Once your awareness of the world shifts, it’s hard to go back to your normal life, and you’ll most likely want to feel more of that euphoric love, and less of the separation and negativity that you held before.

Often after an awakening experience people might feel their life is dull or lack-luster. And this is okay, there’s no need to make any radical decisions just yet (unless there is:). Get to know your new altered state, your new views and perceptions of life. Ponder what makes you tick and where your true interests, passions and love exist.

Take it slowly.

Discover your new interests and find people with whom you can share them with.

The limitless result:

I’ve found once the awakening experience has settled you have the awareness and ability to experience more joy, peace and love in every situation, than you did before.

Every moment becomes one of uniqueness, opening up to be explored and devoured.

So take it easy with yourself and know that you’re not alone. These are exciting and intense times for all of us.

Have you experienced moments of complete euphoria, love and oneness?

What has life been like for you post spiritual awakening?

With love,

Ps. if you’re interested in having a spiritual awakening, and gaining deeper insight into why you’re here, why not try a one-on-one session via skype with me? I offer free skype consultations to meet and discuss this further.

And my view of the world was forever changed 🙂 It’s like taking your sunglasses off for the first time ever. Amazing to see everything so much clearer, warmer and with a new ‘sense’ that over time resolves into the understanding that empathic side is ‘feeling’ on a whole new level. One where the love is now who you are, where before it was hidden behind whatever wall you had built to the world. It now IS you.
And as each day goes by you are now taking steps like a baby learning to walk, even to the point that what most regard as ordinary, now takes on a completely different aspect as it can now be seen through new lenses.
We have ‘shifted’ in such a way that we let go of what used to be us, as it no longer has purpose. We now accept….us…for exactly who we are, no more self worth issues, no ‘what ifs’, just an acceptance….and we begin to live, non judgementally, open and from the heart. And yes, once found there is no going back…why would you…you have found what you have been looking for all your life…home! Self!
Great post Sharon, thank you for sharing 🙂

Amazing, thanks for sharing so eloquently Mark! It is certainly like taking off your blurry, dark sunglasses that had been marring your view for what may seem your entire life. Yes it is the feeling, the remembrance of home, and home within 🙂 Wonderful to read your thoughts. Sending you love and gratitude, Sharon
